Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment in NJ

What Are Co-occurring Disorders?

Having co-occurring disorders means a person has both a substance use disorder and one or more mental health disorders. Undiagnosed mental health conditions can cause behaviors that lead to addiction, and vice versa. At our facility, we treat both conditions at the same time for a stronger recovery.

Over all a good experience. I stayed for 74 days and I will say the different specialized therapy groups I.e. trauma, first responders/veterans group, etc, along with the emdr specialist and individual therapists, this is the best overall care I’ve gotten at a rehab center. For the first time I really got to take a deep dive into the reasons I kept slipping back into my addiction, rather than just learning coping skills (which are also helpful). I am now 1 month away from having ONE YEAR SOBRIETY! The longest I have ever made it in recovery.Things they could improve on:Staffing: There seemed to be staffing issues during my stay, which I understand is difficult to navigate in any environment, let alone a rehab. But due to the staffing issues there were several occasions when groups would get canceled or therapists would have to reschedule weekly 1 on 1 sessions with their patients.Safety: While in the detox wing it didn’t seem they had enough nurses on staff to regularly check all patients vitals. I witnessed 2 different people go into seizure and need to be taken away by ambulance. I’ve only been to one other rehab but at that facility the nurses checked every detox patients vitals every 30mins for the first 24hr then every hour for 2 days after that, and it decreases as you stabilize. Never saw any seizures or ambulances take anyone away during my stay at that other facility.

God delivered me while at the program. The staff was was excellent…from the clinical, medical, culinary and janitorial. I highly recommend anyone seeking recovery to give themselves a break at The Village.

You will recover and get the help you need along the way food is great staff awesome everything about recovery village is it is a village and you will receive excellent support and recovery will be the priority. Thank you guys I’m 93 day from detox and I’m never going back to what it was future is brighter and love alone. Thanks again you all rock.

I have not been to any other rehabilitation facility other than Cooper Recovery Village in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.I had an Uber take me to the facility. As my personal medical history I wish to remain private, I will disclose that I was a fentanyl addict. I had tried outpatient help. Started with Methadone, but that has no accountability.Then I tried outpatient Suboxone through Ophilia, but I was missing a CRUCIAL medical treatment to better understand my addiction, the associated mental and physical behaviors associated with it, and having a community who also struggles with substances. The rooms were adequate, the food was good, the staff varied, but that’s just people no matter where you go.The counselors and case managers were very helpful and friendly, as well as my psychiatrist, who helped me navigate a better way to manage my depression as well.The relapse is a part of recovery…and that the opposite of addiction is connection. I have met some amazing people there, and most have been very supportive and understanding during my 3 months there.The truth is, you HAVE to ACTUALLY WANT to 🛑 STOP! They will help you, but you have to lower your walls, let them in, and actually apply what you learn here…I gained a lot of confidence from in myself here, and I would go again if I had to.There will always be days you are tempted, or craving… But, some of the negative experiences made me realize that if I didn’t stop, I would either be in jail, or dead…I am very thankful for all the help I have received at Recovery Village.FYI, they have a half basketball court, volleyball outside, treadmills, weights, and some other group activities for you to do day to day.There is no shame in getting help, but there is when you give up on yourself. ✌🏻

Great community

I would recommend this place to anyone. I just passed a year sober and that began with Recovery Village. Miscommunication with staff was occasionally frustrating, but minor. And, the people there are wonderful. It was an incredible experience.

About Co-Occurring Mental Health Disorders

It’s common for substance use disorders to occur at the same time as other mental health conditions. Each of these conditions can affect the other, exacerbate symptoms and make treatment difficult.

At The Recovery Village Cherry Hill at Cooper, we believe that each person should be treated as a whole, which means addressing conditions that occur alongside an addiction. While we may not treat all co-occurring disorders, we do offer treatment for several of the most common co-occurring mental health disorders that addresses both addiction and mental health disorders simultaneously.

Common Co-Occurring Disorders

Mental health disorders that can co-occur with addiction (substance use disorder) can include:

Statistics on co-occurring disorders show that 37.9% of adults with substance use disorders have a mental health condition, and 18.2% of those with mental health conditions had a substance use disorder.

Co-Occurring Mental Health Symptoms

It can be difficult to tell when a co-occurring disorder is present because many effects of substance use disorders can cause symptoms that are similar to mental health disorders. For example, drug withdrawal can cause symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Because there is such a wide variety of drugs and effects, addiction specialists use screening tools to determine when co-occurring disorder treatment may be appropriate. After medical detox and initial addiction treatment begins, it may become easier to spot the signs of underlying mental health conditions.

General signs of co-occurring disorders are similar to those of addiction, including:

Avoiding relationships with family and friends
Sudden changes in behavior
Difficulty managing daily responsibilities
Engaging in risky behaviors

Neglecting health and hygiene
Losing control over substance use
Feeling the need to use a substance to function normally

Self-Medication and Substance Abuse

Many people develop substance use disorders because they begin using drugs or alcohol to cope with the symptoms of a mental health condition. Self-medication may reduce feelings of anxiety or depression in the short-term, but this can cause mental health disorders to develop or worsen. The consequences of self-medication can include delayed treatment and the development of drug tolerance, dependence or addiction.
